Being a student at Northeastern, I try to take advantage of as many things as possible when it comes to on-campus activities. Usually, events require I present my Husky card before I am let into a certain event. Since a student activity fee is charged to my card every semester, I try to put these dollars which I have no choice in opting out of. But tomorrow Northeastern is the home of an event where anyone is welcome.
If you think John Kerry has been drowning his sorrows after losing the presidential election a couple of years back-think again. The Massachusetts Senator is going to be on campus tomorrow afternoon at his second annual Massachussetts Procurement Conference and Business Expo. What this means in English is basically a full day where Kerry is taking time to recognize the small businesses that keep the state going.
Hosted by Mayor Menino, the highlight of the all-day affair will come at 3:30 when Northeastern's new president Aoun will introduce the Senator. According to Northeastern's Office of Government Relations, newly appointed governor Deval Patrick will also be present and is set to speak. If you're really into learning more about the business world, the doors open at 9:15 in the Curry Student Center with the exhibitions to follow. If anything, the event is a good and super-close opportunity to see some of the city's most influential people mixing and mingling among us "common folk."
To attend the event and for more information, just vist John Kerry's own Web site at http://kerry.senate.gov/v3/corner/procurement1_07_participant.html.
